Friskney All Saints School - new hall

A new assembly hall / library complex and internal alterations to the school to provide new classrooms, staff room and main entrance. The hall is designed to cater for school and community use. The new hall creates a courtyard enclosed on three sides, with covered play and seating areas. A new stepped and ramped approach leads to the clearly identified entrance volume and top-lit central circulation space. The design has been developed through environmental analysis of heating and daylighting and has a natural ventilation strategy augmented by heat recovery ventilation.
